Mind The Gap

America’s British population has taken to the web to voice its displeasure at news that U.S. candy giant Hershey has successfully blocked our much loved U.K.-produced chocolate from being exported to the land of the free.

Congratulations, Whovians: you’ve made history. Your votes have landed Doctor Who on the cover of TV Guide for the very first time, as the nearly 50-year-old series has won the magazine’s annual Fan Favorites competition. (The show defeated some big names, including The Walking Dead, The Vampire Diaries, and Pretty Little Liars.) And we can reveal that cover now, which features the Doctor (Matt Smith) in his dapper, bow-tied splendor. (Be on the lookout for the issue on newsstands later this week.)

Christmas has certainly come early. (Well, we wish it would come early: we really want to see this year’s Christmas special “The Snowmen,” which airs on BBC America December 25.)

All right, folks – pat yourselves on the back for a job well-done below!

Kevin Wicks founded BBCAmerica.com's Anglophenia blog back in 2005 and has been translating British culture for an American audience ever since. While not British himself - he was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri - he once received inordinate hospitality in London for sharing the name of a dead but beloved EastEnders character. His Anglophilia stems from a high school love of Morrissey, whom he calls his "gateway drug" into British culture.
